Infographics Designers Sketchbooks
Product ID: 6898298
We are living in a golden age of data visualization, in which designers are responding to the information overload of our digital era with astonishing feats of visual thinking. Using a wide variety of techniques, they transform complex ideas into clear, engaging, and memorable infographics. In recent years, books and websites have been collecting the field's best. While stimulating, these finished projects offer little insight into how visual solutions were reached, making them of limited use to designers wanting to produce work of their own. In Infographic Designers' Sketchbooks , more than fifty of the world's leading graphic designers and illustrators open up their private sketchbooks to offer a rare glimpse of their creative processes. Emphasizing idea-generating methods—from doodles and drawings to three-dimensional and digital mock-ups—this revelatory collection is the first to go inside designers' studios to reveal the art and craft behind infographic design. Review: Beautiful Art Book - This is a gorgeous book, if you or anyone else is interested in infographics and how they are made, this is well worth the price. It is an enormous hardback with many pages dedicated to the design of the infographics. The only caveat is that the art of the graphics is the focus, so you can't really read most of them as they are stand alone, without the accompanying article. Many are lacking the Info- part. Review: Genuinely innovative and helpful book. - Easy to recommend this fine book. If you are working in any aspect of design, you will value it on your reference shelf.

A lookbook of some great infographics from conception to completion
An excellent book for inspiration and learning what makes a great infographic visually. It is not a how to book. It really is a lookbook. With sketches and the finished infographics.

This book is a good source of inspiration for diverse kinds of infographic design ...
First of all, this is not a how-to book. Instead, this is a collection of some well done examples of various styles of infographics with accompanying sketches and process images provided by their many creators. This book is a good source of inspiration for diverse kinds of infographic design and is also useful for gaining insight into the formative design process employed by working professionals in the field. Just be aware that you will not find any explicitly instructional material in this book. I'm giving this book only a 4 star rating because a number of the photos included in it were fairly pixelated. This is apparent without having to look especially close up and I'm not sure why they'd include such low resolution images in a book of this otherwise high level of quality that is selling for over $40. Isn't bad enough for me to recommend against buying, but I'd expect more from somebody like Steven Heller.
